Here's a recipe for Spicy Shrimp and Quinoa Bowl that can be helpful for weight loss
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
Instructions:
In a medium-sized pot, combine the quinoa and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the quinoa simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the shrimp. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and then toss them in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are pink and cooked through.
In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa between four bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked shrimp and sautéed vegetables.
Add diced avocado and chopped cilantro on top of each bowl. Drizzle with lime juice to taste.
